It was one spark and it was enough to make me fall in love with you. - Sonya Chloe

Shawn's POV:

"Miss Kaur and Mr. Bradley, I am really impressed by the quality of your project. The topic was also well chosen as it was definitely not covered enough and not recognized as a genocide as such. So from today on, I expect you to be partners for the whole year. I look forward to more of your projects!" She beamed at her own words, clearly happy that her choice produced an excellent outcome, and I was also happy that I was able to save my grade and maintain the possibility of attending an Ivy League University. It seemed strange now to think that her choice was poor as it proved itself to be good and well made. Working with Jasmeet showed that we were very compatible and I looked forward to more projects with her. Our peers gave us an impressed stare, we were able to catch their attention and keep the whole 25 minutes interesting for them. Normally it was hard to maintain the focus of them as they preferred to engage in small talk or tease each other.

We sat down after she completed her feedback and I casted a content glance at Jasmeet at which she smiled. Something about her made me catch my breath and I feared that I was in deep trouble, also because she suspected something. The question she asked me when we sat in the garden still lingered on my mind. I had to hide all my feelings and sentiments and I could also do this by becoming cold like stone. How was I going to do this?

Jasmeet's POV:

It was really emotional for me to talk about this Blue Star Operation as it was something which teared me up. The whole events still shocked me and it was not the easiest thing to report this sensitive topic to my class, however, somehow I managed to control my emotions and deliver a great presentation. Shawn's encouraging glare also helped me to concentrate and maintain my composure.
Mrs. Stevenson's feedback made me happy and worried at the same time; as Shawn and I had to work together for the project yet to come. The few moments we spent together stayed at the back of my mind and I was sacred to hear what he was going to say as I had a slight hint about this angry behaviour related to his best friend. I had the suspicion for some days now, but it confirmed itself when I saw how Shawn looked at me. There was a softness in his gaze, which was never there before, and a certain admiration. Why did it have to be me? Enzo was now courting me and I saw myself falling for him, however, I was aware that there was an undeniable attraction between Shawn and me. Wait, what? Was I loosing my mind? I could not think like this, I should ban these thoughts at the back of my mind. Or was Samara right? Did I feel more for this boy?

"Jassy, you were great!" pulled me the voice of my best friend Aryan out of my thoughts, once the class was dismissed. I smiled at him and he hugged me when he noticed that I was still emotional because of the sensitive topic. His touch comforted me and I felt immediately better and happier. He was truly the best friend one could wish for, always there for me when it was necessary and needed. We engaged in some small talk and I told him about the coming functions where his presence was needed which made him happy as he cared very much for my whole family. Indian weddings were really something special and much fun, as there was much singing and dancing and lots of food involved. The whole day passed in a blurr and it was time to rehearse again. There was still much time left for the play but we wanted to perform it very well so it was decided to practice in order to perfect our performance.

Enzo and I created a comfortable atmosphere between each other, and I was no longer the shy girl I used to be around him. The few times we played together made me comfortable and more secure around him. The words just tumbled from my mouth, creating this romantic feeling around us, and I gazed at him while completing my lines. His features were truly enticing, his hair fell into his forehead making him very handsome and he was truly special as there was something about him which was extra-ordinary. It still seemed unreal that he wanted to go out with me, as one week ago we had not exchanged even a single word. In this moment I felt gratitude and happiness that everything happened the way it did. Fate worked wonderous and I was curious to find out what was yet to come.
A certain routine developed and confidence surged through my veins making me self-assured to perform well. The smile around the teacher's lips also gave me the impression that I was doing a good job. My classmates no longer stared curious at us as it became usual for Enzo and me to talk while rehearsing this play. I knew that this play was going to turn out good for sure as everyone did their best and it was really fun to be so creative.

Once we were done and dismissed, I took my purse and wanted to leave, when a soft touch on my hand stopped me from doing so. I looked up and stared into Enzo's eyes, which held a softness and admiration in them. "Jasmeet wait for a second. I wanted to talk to you! There is something I need to ask you!" he told me in a low yet secure manner. His intense stare made something in me melt and I responded to him, sounding insecure: "Yes, sure. What do you want to talk about?" My words were laced with my feeling of timidity and nervousness. He shot me an amused glance and replied me, sounding less confident: "Would you be up for the date today? Or is it too spontaneous?"

His eyes portrayed the insecurity he felt and I almost said yes that I would meet him today. Moreover, I was very dazed by his bluntness and directness, as he did not beat around the bush like many other did. Nonetheless, he could not seriously expect to go out with him without prior notice. I answered him carefully, trying not to hurt his feelings: "Enzo, I would love to meet you. However, today is not a good day but tomorrow after school is perfect, as we also do not have rehearsal! In this way there is much time and we can enjoy many hours together!" My words made him chuckle and he raised his eyebrows, replying me in a flirty tone, which I still did not get used to: "Jasmeet, do you want spend much time with me? Am I this irresistible?"

My strict yet amused stare made him add, sounding more sincere: "I am just joking, I will pick you after school when you freshened up! Is this okay for you?" Nodding in agreement, we took our things and we walked together to the parking lot, while walking our hands occasionally touched, making me blush immediately. Enzo cast me a side-glance, smirking at my reaction to this small touch. I was still not used to these strange and somehow enticing feelings, which surfaced everytime I was around Enzo. Suddenly, I remembered that I had to be somewhere and I cursed silently, recalling the promise I made last night to my mother, sister and aunt, as I had to be in Southall, talking to the tailor, making sure everything was going according to plan. My mom hated it when I came late so I hurried to the shop, pulling out the parking lot as fast as I could.

Enzo's POV:

I could not believe that she said yes, it still seemed so unreal to me as I anticipated her to say no. Jasmeet was a girl whom I could not stop thinking about. She was something different and the moment she fell into my arms, a spark ignited, and fuelled by the two kisses we shared. Those kisses were so intense that I still could feel her lips against mine.

My happiness was not influenced by the fact that I was on the verge of loosing my best friend. In my heart I felt doubt that he ever was truly my best friend. When we talked and he offered to step back, I almost thought that he changed. However, I did not believe in his intentions of letting us be content together. It was clear to me that eventually he would admit that he was head over heels for her and that he did not want to be an outsider in her life. So I had to act now, trying to woo her and make her fall for me.

When she fainted into Shawn's arms and he carried her to the Nurse, I felt a tinge of jealousy flooding through my veins. This was increased when the Nurse told Shawn to stay and not me. The look on Shawn's face mirrored my feelings, I could see that he wondered why it was him who should stay with her and not me. No matter my objections I also knew that one should obey her instructions so I just left, leaving them both behind. An feeling of uneasiness and discontent surfaced into my consciousness as I realized that it should not be him and it should have been me. What was happening to me? I did not understand myself, and my behaviour the last days.

Once I arrived at home, I walked straight into my room and sat down on my bed, thinking about the events that happened today. I suddenly felt so exhausted that I decided to take a nap, trying to escape from all this emotional turmoil. A soft touch pulled me out of the light slumber I was in and I sat up, looking into the eyes of my brother James who had a look of curiosity spread across it. My brother was rarely at home, but I was happy to see him as we were very close just like Eliza and I. Eliza was at the moment on a mission, to fight for the less fortunate as there was a case which she could witness, expanding her knowledge in this way.

James looked at me expectantly and I knew that he was eager to find out what was happening to me. I did not share anything with him yet, as I preferred to keep my emotional things to myself and as I did not see him there had not been the chance to do so. "What is wrong brother? I noticed that the last days something is different with you!" he asked me directly. It was clear that I could no longer hide anything from him.
"Something happened, James. There is this girl in my school and I kind of like her but it is very complicated as she is the one Shawn despises and we are also partners in the play Romeo and Juliet. There is something about her, which catches my breath and tomorrow we have a date. I know everything sounds great so far, but Shawn likes her too!" My brother was very surprised to hear this as I never talked about a girl before. It was clear that he needed some minutes to digest and grasp all the information I shared with him.

My brother James was older than me and studied since two years, having nearly completed his bachelor degree. He was just at home for some vacation as I knew that studying was very hard work and he needed some time off. I told him everything and he just listened to my words carefully. Once I finished, he had a thoughtful look on his face and did not say a word for some moments.

"Well, no matter what is going on with your best friend, you have to plan something very nice as you have to impress her. It has to be extraordinary. Do you know what she likes or not? You should find out. The first date has to memorable and should stay forever in her mind, so make it special!" he told me then after some time. He was right, I should find out what she likes. But who knew all this stuff? I thought then. Suddenly a person came to my mind, who was clearly able to help me impress her. After searching for the number, I found myself dialling the caller, who picked up after the first ring, sounding confused and surprised: "Hello, who is this?" I responded to him: "Hey, Aryan. It is me, Enzo. I need your help!"

Jasmeet's POV:

The next school day passed away in a blurr and I was so excited and nervous. Enzo I did not see in the hallways which calmed me down. Aryan noticed my changed behaviour and just smiled knowingly. Nathalie also did not approach me and I was grateful for this as I did not want to deal with her. I spotted Shawn in the hallways but as soon as he saw me, he turned around and walked into the opposite direction. His behaviour confused me but I decided to just enjoy this day and the prospect of having my first date.

Once I was home, I got ready for my date and I was so excited as it was my very first one and I could not still believe that it was actually going to happen. Aryan and Samarpreet were with me and they made sure that I looked very nice. My hair was open and fell until the lower end of my back. One part of my long mane was braided and attached to a side, making me feel beautiful. I wore a pinkish shirt with embroidment, with and grey jeans. Comfortable yet elegant casual shoes completed my outfit, my sister and Aryan smiled content when I emerged from my room fully dressed.

I was so excited. Finally it was the time for us to meet. I waited impatiently in front of my house, waiting to be picked up by this boy who managed to catch my breath. Then his car pulled up and I walked slowly towards him. Gentleman like he opened the door for me, after greeting me with a smile and a simple pink lilac. I could not contain the smile, which was forming, on my lips, truly touched by this simple yet powerful gesture. "So where are we going?" I asked him once I sat down in his car. He just started it and reversed out of the driveway. Once he was on the street, he answered me: "It is a surprise! Be patient!" I raised my eyebrows to show him that his answer did not satisfy me and he just smiled knowingly. He had something planned, I was sure of this, as he was being so secretive and did not utter a single word about where we were going.

I do not know how long we drove but it was certainly very long as we were suddenly in a neighbourhood, which I did not know and my curiosity was reaching its peak. Out of the sudden, he stopped in front of a park, full of flowers like lillies, roses and many more. I felt enchanted by this atmosphere, it managed to catch my breath. The air was also very fresh and smelled of gras and trees, making me feel relaxed and happy. It was very good being outside and escaping the bad air of London. Just then I noticed that Enzo wore a black jeans with a white shirt. His appearance took my breath away, it was casual yet insanely handsome. I enjoyed being in nature and I was touched that Enzo knew that I liked to be in natural environment.

"Miss, would you be so kind to follow me?" he pulled me out my thoughts and I nodded, making him take my hand, intertwining our fingers. The instant he touched me, I felt something, it resembled the same spark I felt with Shawn. This thought I banned immediately into the back of my mind. I followed him and then suddenly we were at a pavillon, surrounded by trees and flowers. The sight was really incredible. In the middle of it stood a table set for two, a candle lit as well, giving the whole place an incredible romantic touch. My heartbeat acceralated and I could not believe my eyes, as this was the most touching thing I ever saw. "Enzo, wow!" I just told him. He gave me a smile and took my hand, leading me to the table, he pulled back the chair on which I sat down. The whole table was covered in petals of marigolds which made me smile instantly.

Just then I realized that two plates were placed right before us with a silver shiny thing covering which I openend. The site before me stunned me, as hot vegetarian indian food laid on it. "Enzo, how do you know I am vegetarian? In addition, that I like nature? Did you have help?" I asked him, as I regained the ability to speak. A blush formed on his face and I immediately understood that he had help planning the whole date and who assisted him. I chuckled softly and laid my hand on his, saying: "This is so amazing. Thank you so much, this is really much more than a girl could wish for in a first date! I am really impressed, Enzo!"

He looked up and gazed into my eyes, responding to me: "Well Miss Kaur, this was the intention!" There was no need for him to say much as I knew that sometimes words were not needed to describe one's feelings. We ate slowly, engaging in small talk and it astounded me to find out that Enzo and I had much more in common than I first thought. Once we were finished, we still talked and he took my hand into his. In this moment I knew that I could not deny what was right in front me. I was slowly but for sure falling for this boy who was so sweet, kind, and nice.

Time seemed to stop and it was just us two, and this insanely romantic atmosphere. "Jasmeet, I want to tell you something!" Enzo told me then, instantly adding: "I cannot withhold this information from you any longer!" I looked up and waited for him to continue after giving him a nod. I was so curious what he was going to say, although I had a slight guess. He asked me, sounding insecure and unsure of himself: "Jasmeet, you know that there is a reason why we are here tonight, right?" I responded to him, sounding nervous: "Yes, I have a slight guess, but tell me!"
A blush formed itself on my cheeks and I lowered my gaze, to escape his intense stare. A soft touch made me look up and the sight in front of me was truly breathtaking. Enzo no longer sat opposite me, he took a seat next to me, seeming out of the breath. I stared into the eyes of a boy who slowly took a place in my heart and who gazed at me in such admiration and happiness. The brown in them appeared to be full of warmth and A man, on the verge of falling in love, was a sight insanely beautiful. Our eyes communicated with each other, saying the words which we were not formulate. I have no idea how long we sat in front of each, not uttering a single verb. I knew that words were needed as well which made me give him a nudge into his shoulder. "Jassy, I ....
